thanks for watching. >> have a great day. >> have a great day. making news in america this monday morning, the deadly monsoon season, flash flooding in arizona. the search for the victims who were surprised by a violent surge of water. dangerous conditions still a threat today. and president trump's poll problems. our new polls show him at an historic low but still doing well among his core supporters. the new numbers as senate republicans are forced to delay work on their health care bill. ann coulter in a fight with delta air lines about seating on her flight. the airline not having it firing back at the pundit in unusually personal terms. and teen versus a great white. her surfboard shows she's not telling a fish tale.

we do say good morning on this monday, everyone. we start on a tragic note, a tragedy indeed. one man remains missing. nine members of his family killed in a flash flood in arizona. >> such sad news. more thunderstorms and, therefore, more flash floods likely in the area today. >> you see the radar there, but here's the video from yesterday. the family swept away in the flood. they had gathered at a popular swimming hole and had no warning before the wall of water roared through the narrow canyon. abc's elizabeth hur with more. >> reporter: with crews in the air and search dogs on the ground, rescue and recovery operations stretching into day three in central arizona. >> our trail is blocked off because of this. >> reporter: this woman caught the frightening scene on her cell phone as a flash flood sent water, debris and mud rushing down a mountain into the river below. >> there's the son over there, and the mom is in the water. >> reporter: eyewitnesses say dozens of swimmers caught off

guard held on to whatever they could to stay alive. >> finally got rescuers on site. >> reporter: four people were rescued and flown to hospitals with hypothermia. >> one of the witnesses said he looked up and saw a wall of water coming toward him. >> reporter: that wall of water so powerful, authorities confirm so far at least nine people including two children were killed. >> i've been with the sheriff's office 13 years, and this is the worst flash flood accident we've had. >> when it rains it really pours, and not only that it knocks down trees. >> reporter: the floods triggered by torrential rains in the area pounding this waterfront restaurant and uprooting trees in nearby neighborhoods. and, unfortunately, for that same area and across arizona, the danger isn't over yet with new flash flood watches now in effect through this evening. adrienne and kendis. >> yeah, elizabeth, the national weather service just telling people to avoid the area moments ago.

thank you. we're going to move on right now and turning to president trump's slipping approval ratings, down to an all-time low six months into the job. >> as the president copes with a stalled health care bill and the russia probe, a new abc news/"washington post" poll shows just 36% of americans approve of his presidency. that's the lowest level at this point in 70 years of polling. abc's david wright has more. >> reporter: the abc news/"washington post" poll shows donald trump is off to the worst start of any president since polling began. americans have deep concerns about his competence and effectiveness. two-thirds don't trust him to negotiate with other world leaders. nearly half say the u.s. has grown weaker on the world stage on his watch. trump does have die-hard supporters. >> his supporters believe him, not you. >> reporter: but they're in the minority. trump pushed back, the

abc/"washington post" poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time. not true. abc's last poll before the election predicted the national results within two points showing hillary clinton winning the popular vote, in fact, the only other president to rate below 40% six months into his term was gerald ford after ford pardoned richard nixon for watergate. one major stumbling block for trump is russia. >> i have nothing to do with russia. i told you. >> reporter: six out of ten believe russia did try and influence the election, and what about that meeting last june when don junior, jared kushner and campaign chair paul manafort sat down with a russian lawyer whom they were told had dirt on hillary clinton. >> here you have now evidence in black and white that, yes, the campaign was encouraging the russians to give them dirt. >> reporter: the poll shows nearly two out of three americans agree that meeting was inappropriate.

he's tweeted before that in his view, any negative polls are fake news. david wright, abc news. >> now, on the bright side for president trump, the poll shows americans have a pretty low opinion of democrats too. only 37% say the party stands for something, and most say the party is just anti-trump. the latest republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare is on hold because a key vote will be missing. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell forced to delay a vote on the revised health care bill after senator john mccain had surgery to remove a blood clot. with mccain out for at least a week, republicans won't have the 50 votes they need and there's another delay, the congressional budget office will not release its analysis of the bill today as initially planned. and more now on senator mccain's condition. that blood clot was removed from above his eye, and doctors in phoenix say he's recovering well

at home, but some neurosurgeons not involved in mccain's treatment tell "the new york times" his condition and the recovery period could be longer, up to several weeks, and they say a blood clot in that area is usually very concerning. mccain is 80 years old. he has a history of melanoma. now, pathology reports are expected back in several days. the united states is calling for the release of all americans unjustly detained in iran after a ten-year prison sentence was handed down to a chinese-american citizen. the 37-year-old princeton grad is accused of infiltrating iran. the state department accused tehran of continuing to detain foreigners on false charges. there are a number of wildfires that are burning in california. the whittier fire near santa barbara is one of the biggest out there. crews are setting off intentional fires to burn off grass and try to keep the fire from spreading. the whittier fire has already destroyed 17 homes, grown to more than 18,000 acres. two big fires to the north have also forced residents to

evacuate. and there are now nearly 50 active large wildfires burning in more than a dozen western states, and you can see the pattern that's creating it. red flag warnings are up for parts of the west, and those high temperatures are now shifting to the east. lightning from the thunderstorms in the mountains could spark new fires. and now for a look at the monday forecast. good morning. summer thunderstorms in the four corners region, specifically southern portions of arizona, southern portions of arizona, a heavy thunderstorm causing concern for dangerous flooding. that's going to affect flagstaff, phoenix down towards tucson. complicating matters along i-17, 10 and 40, urban flash flooding, sudden flooding of desert washes and blowing dust in the desert. flooding not only a concern there but in the southeast with steamy flow from the carolinas down to the gulf coast. i'm accuweather meteorologist paul williams.
